so, day two, got up out of the hotel, found an atm in the subway and took for a stroll through a narrow strret market called nishiki. Lots of fresh eel fish and fried things on display, there was also a ver interesting knife shop that sold knives for anything you could ever want a knife for.
breakfast was at a fun little bakery place and then we were off for more sights
our fist stop was Kinkakuji Temple (Golden temple) Yes folks its actually gold, and i guess the floor on the top floor is made of mirror.
there was the main pond temple are and then there wer some smaller water spots with mini islands and statues. It was a very impressive sight. You get your ticket alk for about 10 secs turn the cornere and boom, there it is.
it was very peaceful, a very different atmosphere from Kinkakuji.
Next we walked up a hill and down a hill, met a very nice Finnish woman who was really lost, we helped point her in the right direction.
Then we went to Ryoanji temple, known for its zen rock garden and surrounding garden area
next it was on the bus, to a bus station to another bus to Ginkakuji Temple (Silver temple) not actually silver but the temple grounds were much more vast than the golden temple area
